Hobolar hayatlarının belirsizliği nedeniyle bir sembol sistemi ya da görsel kod sistemi geliştirmişlerdir. Hobolar diğer "kardeşlerine" yön, bilgi ve uyarı sağlamak için tebeşir veya kömür kullanarak bu kodları yazarlar. Bir sembol, "burada sağa dönün", "düşman trenyolu polisinden kaçın", "tehlikeli köpek", "yiyecek mevcut" gibi anlamlara gelmektedir. Bazı sık kullanılan işaretler:

 haç işareti: "melek gıda" yani vaazdan sonra hobolara ikram yapılıyor.
 ellerin olduğu bir üçgen: ev sahibi silahlı.Moon, Gypsy: "Done and Been", page 198. Indiana University Press, 1996.
